i just bought a 86 truck with a banks kit on it...the engine is shot but runs...i was wondering if it would be worth the time and effort to remove the banks turbo and install it on another truck...

You were told correctly...yes. It is worth taking it off and reinstalling it onto another truck. If you dont feel it is...there are fellas standing in line to buy your turbo from you on this site, im sure.
